TCLA Vacation Scheme Applications Discussion Thread 2023-24

Hey, I heard back from Travers at the start of March last year and they call you if you have an interview. So you probs won’t hear back for a while

This is very helpful to know - thanks!

Does anyone know if Freshfields gives WG scores out if you email and ask?

 

[S87]

Does anyone have any insight into V&E VI, I can help with Jones Day.

It was the internal TC at the firm I currently work at

They don’t disclose score whilst that stage of the recruitment process is ongoing. I tried to ask yesterday. Hopefully we made it through 🤞

[Miss Chocolate]

Anyone else still waiting to hear back from Mishcon?

I personally wouldn't write off Milbank so soon, it seems that they were still offering ACs in Feb last application cycle
Additionally, W&C has been known to take a while to get back to applicants, so I would just try to be patient!

Just completed HL WG and tbh as always I did awful but I wanted to know what people would’ve put for this question as I was severely confused 😭 or maybe I’m stupid 🤔 (I’ve been rejected twice for HL this cycle VS and lift off)

Statement
"Professional development programmes must focus on both the organisation's goals and employees' individual career objectives."

Proposed assumption
“It is difficult for an employee to meet his or her individual career goals without the support of the organisation.”

Assumption made or Assumption not made

I put assumption made but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong 😕

I saw a YouTube video that said for these questions start of my repeating the assumption and say- “yeah but you’re assuming that…”

If the whole sentence makes sense and has been assumed then assumption made.

If it sounds like gibberish/doesn’t make sense or relate then assumption not made. I’d say not made
